The Concept

The idea that Architecture are by no means forms of shelter with the purpose of fostering our needs, rather the opposite. The need for appreciating architecture though respect, appreciation and an equilibrium outlook on its significance compared to humans. By giving such importance to Architecture, the building itself come alive (literally) and follows many of the elemental structures of Chemistry (the atomic structure and the human body). This can be identified in the building through its core gallery (relating to the heart of a human- having most significance ) and the many features which acts as functional beings requiring daily specifications and needs etc. the top floor embellishes naturalistic landscape through grass and trees to represent the hair fluids of the human body, with the implication of the top floor being the outer skin. Receiving sunlight is a daily requirement for the top floor. The second floor showcases a space representing the workshop and studio spaces. The incorporation of vast amounts of pillars in this space, with the purpose of pillar's irregularity and disorder in mind, emphasises to the humans to 'tread carefully' and treat it as something of importance similarly to the respect shown towards other humans. The various other spaces of the buildings (etc. waterfall lecture room + fountain library signify that the human body is made out of 70% water) incorporates similar abstract features with the exception of the use of mirror to tell that while all organs differ in the building, they work together to function to keep the inhabitant healthy (through collecting sunlight). This shows while it needs sunlight, it also helps to keep the building itself as a whole functioning, projecting on towards the relationship between inhabitants and architecture to be mutual bonding and respect for each other.

Architectural appreciation and respect

What do we mean when we say that our homes are “extensions” of ourselves? To put it more precisely, can a home be an extension of more than one person’s sense of “self”? A good example of this attitude – having architecture and the architect mutually engaged – is “respect and appreciation”. The architecture speaks for what it is, and for what it stands for. It has a function/purpose, it can represent an idea thought how it looks and works; which in our case, defies a visual design that represents nothing more than fulfilling the requirements of its inhabitants. This again, allows architectural identity to be redefined and reproposed as something that does not communicate implications of an Architectural art exhibition, rather the investigation between the inhabitant and architecture as a relationship consisting of themes of individuality and space for bonding.

Final Submission ( The Space between)

THE SPACE INBETWEEN

ElectroLiquid Aggregation:

"Deception of materiality and the tangible as means of predetermining aesthetic properties and density"

The structures overwhelming mass serves to demonstrate Oscar Nieymer's 'Heaviness of the material vs the lightness of the form', however Marc Fornes' 'Continuity of surface/space' provides an unrestraint bounding box on modern architectural practices. The blending of the two concepts then allows a structure that appeals to the human eye as something of 'intimidating' through the unlimited capacity of space in addition to the materiality of the structure, yet in facts proves to be much more 'open' to the public.

With the incorporation of a technological theme, the building is then allowed to integrate specific (monitors, lights, signs ,air conditioning) objects and textures uses that further enhances this idea of deception through surface and material.

Lumion Images

Here we are able to see the overwhelming structure of the model, yet it only serves to distort what is truly there through the specific material use of aluminium and the advanced technology that provides assistance to objects and building

The interior incorporates glass to further emphasise the idea of what is aesthetically expected of the properties and density through the structure. The glass serves as 'lenses' to perhaps portray what is really there and make forth the fact that material and surface do not determine the core aspects of the building

The sheer mass of the structure also allows certain perceptions of the building being used for political or corporational purposes which showcases the deception it provides of being a Lightrail stop
